* FrameUp: This is why Ba'al doesn't take Adria's threats about her followers coming after him seriously: The Ori Crusade has no reason to suspect his involvement. After all, as the System Lord points out, Adria's people have no idea where she is and it'll be days before they begin to question her disappearance. And even when they finally begin following her trail, their inquiries will only lead them directly to the Tau'ri (who ''did'' in fact try to capture the Orici) rather than to Ba'al.
